CONTAINER AND oovnn ATTACHMENT. 7

To all ivhom it may concern" Be it known that I, MAX WINKLER, a citizen of the United States, resident of Ridgewood, county of Queens, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Containers and Cover At,- tachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in containers, andparticnlarly to types of re-' 'ceptacles adapted to receive collections of ashes. garbage. rubbish and the like.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a can in which the cover is at all times positively engaged therewith so that the same may not become loosened and therefore subject to theft or loss.

A further object is to provide a can in which the cover may be readily secured over the top thereof or when it is desired to make use of the can, the cover may be held in close proximity to the outer side Walls, thereby occupying substantially no extra space, and a third object is to provide such articles of a novel and pleasing design having ample strength, and which are Well designed to receive material or discharge the same.

by the novel design, construction, and combination of parts hereafter described and shown in ,the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this specification, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a container made in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the same, the cover being shown disposed over the top of the can. i

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. I l

Fig. .4 is'a vertical sectional view taken through the can, the cover being shown as engaged at the side of the can,

Fig. 5" is a similar sectional view showing the cover in a partially raised condi- Fig. 6 is a of the cover. I

Like other containers of this class, the side walls of the can are preferably comprised of relatively strong metal plates oxidized or galvanized to prevent; corrosion fragmental perspective view Specification of Letters Patent.

These and other like objects are attained the elements or contents, thejlwal ls being I f rmed with a base 11, the top 12 of \v ich is obviously cylindrical,--being for-med PatentedJuly 17,.[191-7, Application file d November 13,1916. Serial No. 1s1,oo2.-'

in a peculiar manner so as to-pre'sent -si des"=' having a semicircular profile, the radius of so the curve being substantially eqfial'to that of the can, the material atthe 'e'xt'reme' front/' 14 and rear being extended slightly above the ordinary height of such: receptacles.

In order to stiffen the vessel, 8; plurality-" of Vertical'strips 15 aresecured to'the outer walls the lower end of the strips being (tn-* gaged with-the base band 'I'GQ-and further" held in position by a plurality of 'cir'cumferentially disposed bands 18, rivets 19' be ing used at the intersection of the bandsand strips the rivets passingthrough the receptacle, if desired, so as to""bind;--the strength= ening elements to the can.

At the rear or back side of the "can,'T-the bands 18 are carried'outwar z- 'as'are also the vertical strips 15, f0rming -aspa ce 2O, open" at the top and suited to :recei-ve the cover 22, which is-curved. to; aradius== substari-"5 tially equivalent to that: of thesidewv'alls;

the cover being held closely" adj acen'tto the- Walls by reason of the bands and strips, as indicated best in Figs. 4 and 5.

In order to prevent separation of the cover plate 22 from the can, a rod or bar 23 is attached at its lower end to a plate 24 formed at the bottom of a pocket or recess 25, the recess being rolled or pressed di-' rectly into the material forming-the can walls, atthe rear thereof, as best shown in Fig 3 The upper end of the rod 23 is turned angularly as at 26 and secured directly tothe wall 10 at the center of the recess 25, near the topof the can. Formed with the cover 22, is a lug 30 having an angular extension 31, suited to be received within the recess 25, the lug 30 having an opening 32 slidably engaged with the rod 23 in such mannor that the cover may be raised from a normal horizontalposition to one substantiallyvertical-and allowed to slide down alongside the walls of the can, being guided by the opening 32, by means held in positive engagement and cannot be removed without disruption of the parts.

Upon opposite sides, near the front of the can, two of the vertical bars 15 are extended above the normal surface 12, the extensions 35 being receivable in appropriate openings 36 formed through the cover plate of which the cover is treme front end, the link being engageable withianextending hook element lOrigidly secured to. the extreme front upper portion of the can. with the hook, the cover is tightly held downward by means thereof in addition to theengagement of the opening 32, withthe 'end 26 of the bar, and further prevented in'lthe-space 20, where it is held in intimate relation to the wallsof the can by reason of i the blinds and strips as shown, and prevented from movement by engaging the link 38 with a'hook 42 formed outwardly on the end of-the'rearmost vertical bar 15, so as to permit ofireversing the can in dumping its contents without releasing the cover from the side of the can.

Havin g tl l us described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1. In a. container oi the class described,

- the combination with a cylindrical can having'concave top edges formed transversely of the-walls, a curved cover suited thereto, '35 means for engagin said cover with the can,

meansreceptiveo said cover formed with Thus, when, the link is engaged,

the rearwalls of the can, and means: for securing said cover insaid receptive means. 2.-"II1 a container of the class described, the combination with a cylindrical body having a closed bottom, the walls of said body bein formed with an arcuate profile extending transversely across, a cover suited to the top of, said body, a rod secured at both ends in a recess formed in said body, means formed with said cover engageable w ith said rod, projections extending upward from the upper edge ofsaid body adapted to engage with openings formed in said cover, means for securing said cover to the front of said can, and means receptive of said cover formed-at the rear oi? said can.

3. In a container of the class described, the combination with a cylindrical body having an imperforatc base, the upper edge of said body being curred in its profile, a

curved cover suited to the top of said body,

*aplurality of vertical bars reinforcing said body, a plurality oi bands ciicii'cling said bars and said body, means formed with certain o'l'" said bars. engagcable with openiugs in said cover, a vertical rod secured in a recess formed" in the rear of said body, -means formed with said cover cn ragcablc with said rod whereby it is held against separation, and means formed with certain of said vertical, bars and said bands recep-' ti ve of said covcrwlien disposed adjacentto the bod y walls.
